Clocking in with their debut transmission on Stil vor Talent, Turkish outfit Headwaters & Menachem 26 team up on ‚Pixel Desert‘ – a two-track single bound to take dance floors by storm with its laser-precise engineering of Middle-Eastern folk music tropes, 303-emulated acid basswaves and ’80s-indebted synth uplift. True to the trio’s trademark blends of immersive club narratives and heavy-duty jack, ‚8bit Desert‘ gets the ball rolling on a mischievous note. Pulling out typical Turkish-style harmonics processed through some eerie, spookily funky FX, which they fleshed out with a finely integrated layering of cinematic strings and obsessive lysergic swashes, the track packs some seriously magnetic punch. In what could be the soundtrack to an intense club scene in a Miami-based 90s thriller starring Michael Douglas or basically any Michael Mann flick from the era, ‚A Touch of Love‘ oozes pure synth-heavy sensuality and kosmische-laced contemplation. Nostalgia-soaked with its stretched-out desert rock riffs and dreamy oriental accents, it progressively stacks up energy to better beam it back across the room, leaving no stone unturned in its fevered quest to get everyone wading knee-deep in their own sweat. Wild at heart.
